Iron Mike is considered one of the best pound for pound kickboxers in the world.  Weighing in at only 150lbs and 5'5" Mike has knocked down countless number of men all over the world.  Mike made his Japanese debut in the 2003 K1 World Max tournament in Tokyo Japan where he KOed Albert Kraus 16seconds into the second round in the tournament's supper fight.

The word RELENTLESS and Iron Mike are one in the same.
